Bush to consult on changing Iraq tactics

By KEVIN FREKING, Associated Press Writer 16 minutes ago

WASHINGTON -
President Bush acknowledged Friday that "it's tough" in
Iraq and said he would consult with American generals to see if a change in tactics is necessary to combat the escalating violence.


Seventy-four American troops have died in Iraq in October, likely to become the deadliest month for U.S. forces in nearly two years.

"One of the reasons you're seeing more casualties is the enemy is active and so are our troops, along with Iraqis," Bush said in a brief interview with The Associated Press.

"We are constantly adjusting our tactics so we can achieve the objectives and right now, it's tough," the president said. "It's tough on the families who've lost a loved one. It's tough for our citizens who look at it on TV. It's hard on the Iraqis. They've lost a lot of life."

He declined to say, though, whether he thought a change in tactics was necessary.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, at a
Pentagon news conference, said the government of Iraq is going to have to take over its country's security "sooner rather than later."
